i think they should seek state visits because that's also a way to increase awareness of the country and increase tourism as a result. plus a state visit i think is good for the economy and people will be motivated to clean up the area.

"I was wondering why Prince Hussein doesn't look like his age. He is 11 but he looks far much younger while Omar (Feisal's kid) looks exactly like a 12-year-old boy, though there's a year difference between them, it wouldn't affect the fact that Omar look now older and more mature. When they were around 7 and 8, they look like the same age. Now it's like Hussein stopped growing while Omar had gained a lot of weight and looks more mature."

Everybody's different and boys in particular have really unusual growth spurts. One of my cousins looked about 11 until the age of 17 and then he had a huge growth spurt. Not only was he incredibly short but he had such a babyface. And then at 17 whoosh, he just wouldn't stop growing! He's about 6ft now. Plus King Abduallah isn't tall at all so maybe his sone will be the same?

actually yes, I have seen that show. its too bad I didnt make any screen caps of it or I'd have posted them here.
I find Rania more striking on TV.

I agree, I only saw her on TV not too long ago for the first time, she did look better. She was wearing a lot of makeup, but she still looked better. Her voice was a lot deeper than I had expected too. I saw it on the Today Show:

yes that interview was a good one. I posted caps from it in an older thread.
I have actually seen her in quite a few different interviews, documentaries etc.
I'll see if I can post some of the screen caps that haven't been posted before.
Rania does have a deep voice, both in English and Arabic.

I didn't find the interview particularly great, nothing mind blowing lol. But for a fluffy five minute royal snippet on the Today Show it did pretty good.
And yeah, the one thing any makeup artist will tell you is emphasize the lips or the eyes, not both. But I think she pulls together decently most of the time.

okay here are some of the screen caps I made from a BBC doc that aired last year. Since I've posted most of them before I'll only post a few of Rania that havent been posted before.
This is the doc some of you will recall where they showed lots of footage of Queen Rania and King Abdullah at home, cooking with P.Iman etc.

no one said you have to be a die-hard Rania fan. Im not one myself but you'd know that if you'd been here longer.
You may find it hard to believe but she seems to have more critics here than "fans" or even people who like her. They seem to find their way in every thread where she's even mentioned. She is criticized for everything under the sun including not being a good Muslim, a good Arab, a good Jordanian etc. None other women is attacked this way. Which is odd because she's not an anomaly in the JRF, all other women of the royal family dress like her, do the things she does, albeit more privately.
Ofcourse Im not referring to you Alicky because you dont seem to be one of those people.
